Villa Eden

I loved the hotel and my room. More fin de siecle character than modern hotels Space and a simple charm. But the staff ruined my stay. My bank card hadn't worked on Booking.com even tho the same card has always worked there. So they kept my booking but insisted I pay cash on arrival. When I asked to try my card at reception, the grumpy old guy there refused to let me try. I don't like paying cash- it feels dodgy - tax avoidance? Plus no record for me with my bank. I asked to speak to the manager. But apparently he had a medical emergency and couldn't be called... I insisted on trying my card and lo and behold, it worked, but grumpy receptionist was annoyed from then on. There is no lift at this hotel so he watched me lug my suitcase up 2 floors. I loved my room. It had a wonderful sea view. The only sea view room was a family triple which I paid for. But still cheaper than most other places. As I left my room at 11 the next morning the cleaner immediately told me off for using a blanket off the spare single bed when I had been cold. She stormed past me berating me for messing up the spare bed. She demanded to know why I hadn't used the air con machine instead or the spare blankets in the wardrobes. Except I showed her there weren't any. No apology. Who uses air con then the night when they just need a spare blanket? She was awfully rude. As was the grumpy receptionist. And yet the 2star room was charming. So you decide. Nb I didn't book the breakfast because they made it clear it was very basic continental - bread and jam and not much more, and I didn't want more interaction with rude (and lazy) staff.

If you're looking for all modern facilities, etc., this is not the place for you, but if you want an older-style family hotel then it fits the bill. A bit dated, but clean, and lovely staff.

Just a shame this hotel!!!! pay 15€ (cash requested) for a parking space for one night and be woken up at 8.02am by the staff to move our vehicle because the other car could not get out (we parked in the space requested by the guard and in front of him) and get literally yelled at like never seen before 😡😡😡😡😡😡!!!! The bedding more than average and cleanliness!!!! Going to the toilet in the dark because we turn on the ventilation starts to function and makes an abominable noise!!!! Be afraid to flush because the water rises and stagnates!!!! Hear people passing by who don t talk about soundproofing.... A real horror this hotel to flee
